JOTA ILUSIONISTA
BRAINFLUENCE is a complete three-phase mentalism routine that will convince your audience that you can influence their minds.
The first phase is powerful, the second is incredible, but the third is out of this world.
With just 10 beautiful postcards of famous cities and a picturesque envelope filled with stamps that fit in your pocket, you can perform a series of true miracles.
In the first phase, the spectator chooses their favorite city and separates the corresponding postcard. The illusionist asks them to imagine themselves in that city and then proceeds to describe in detail the city they are thinking of.
Next, the process is repeated, but this time, the illusionist guesses before the spectator even touches or separates any of the postcards.
Finally, the spectator chooses a monument, iconic location, or tourist spot from their favorite city, and among hundreds of possibilities, the illusionist reveals that inside the envelope, there was a prediction printed with the image of that exact place from the beginning.
Highlights:
- Freely choices. No forces. No skills.
- Unique and unexpected finale.
- Ideal for close-up or walk-around performances.
- Very easy to perform once the secret is known.
- Immediate reset.
- Fit in a pocket.
- All elements are included. No DIY required.
- Not only is it an act of divination, but it's also a mind reading and precogniti on act that feels real.
- Detailed online tutorials in both English and Spanish versions to learn all the secrets and storytelling.

Overview
Brainfluence is a complete three-phase mentalism routine that will convince your audience that not only can you read their mind but you can also influence their minds. With just 10 beautiful postcards of famous cities and a picturesque envelope printed with stamps that fit in your pocket, you can perform a series of true miracles.Effect
In Phase #1 the spectator chooses their favorite city and separates the corresponding postcard. The magician now asks them to imagine themselves in that city and then proceeds to describe in detail the city they are thinking of. In Phase #2 the process is repeated and this time the magician predicts ‘all' 6 cities before the spectator touches or separates any of the postcards. In Phase #3 the spectator chooses a monument, iconic location or tourist spot from their favorite city and among hundreds of possibilities the magician opens the envelope in which there was a prediction drawn with the image of that exact place from the beginning.Method
The specially printed cards and envelopes do all the work for you with little memory work but there is some. The markings are undetectable unless you know what to look for. The postcards can be examined by the spectator with the exception of the envelopes and the cards with the drawings. This is not any way a problem as there is no reason for them to inspect either of them. When you produce the drawing from the envelope only one card drops out so all is good.Product Quality
Product quality:Everything looks amazing in term of color printing and visual appeal. You receive 11 glossy printed postcards on high quality card stock, 11 color printed envelopes and a plastic ’something’ else which no-one will ever see. The postcards are fairly sturdy and will last quit a while with care. The envelopes are made of paper so care should be taken as overuse may cause them to tear at the opening. I did notice in the training video that one of them was torn but no attention was drawn to it. I did add some satin finish tape to mine at the opening on both sides to deter tearing, this will work.
Ad Copy Integrity
The ad claims: free choices, no forces, no skills, unique and unexpected finale. Ideal for close-up or walk-around performances, very easy to perform once the secret is known, immediate reset, fits in a pocket, all elements are included, no DIY required. All is accurate once you learn the routine and prepare for a ‘little’ memory work. I would not say that ‘no skill’ is required, there is, like with other effects, a learning curve once you feel confident going into your pocket and retrieving the envelope … enough said. After receiving the postcards, envelopes and drawings, you will be guided by Jota on how to assemble everything prior to the first performance. Once this is done the first time you are ready to go as this only needs to be once. You will receive a link and password to the 5 training videos but please note that they are not downloadable. The tutorials are excellent and cover everything you need to know. Jota has a very heavy Spanish accent, however as everything is very visually taught I did not find that to be an issue.Final Thoughts
Final thoughts:I was very intrigued in watching the tutorials on how the items you receive are assembled and in learning the 3 routines how this effect is layered to accomplish all that is taught. This is a very visual and impactful effect that takes up little space in your pocket, ready to go anytime. Very impressive routining with great reactions from the spectators make this a recommended buy and good value for the money spent.
